=== Automatic links ===
If all the archives of a talk page are numbered (<tt>/Archive 1</tt>, <tt>/Archive 2</tt> etc.), you can use the <tt>auto</tt> parameter to display links to them all automatically:
{{archive box|auto=yes}}
<pre>{{archive box|auto=yes}}</pre>
The list will update itself when new archives are added. If there are also named archives, you can add links to these as well.
If there are less than 20 archive pages, and you prefer a larger two-column output, set the <tt>auto</tt> parameter to "long", all other parameter values will trigger the above format, so if you want longer and more visible links, try:
{{archive box|auto=long}}
{{archive box|auto=long}}
<pre>{{archive box|auto=long}}</pre>
The archive box template should also be placed on the archive pages to ensure easy navigation between the different archives, current talk page, and main article.  The archive box to the right can be used to toggle between the four different archives and the [[Template talk:Archive box]] page.

The archive box template should also be placed on the archive pages to ensure easy navigation between the different archives, current talk page, and main article. The archive box to the right can be used to toggle between the four different archives and the Template talk:Archive box page.
